Discussion Summary: Setting up an OM System: Q&A

This discussion summary presents community feedback regarding three questions related to challenges in data collection and analysis during OM implementation in programs. The questions posed were: 1) Is it possible to do outcome mapping where the observer and the documenter are different people? 2) What would be the typical frequency for data collection for a project using outcome mapping? Is it an episodic process (i.e., document significant change whenever you see it), or can it be periodic, e.g. collect data once or twice a year?
and 3) How often do most OM projects do such reflection workshops?
